hey guys, I’ve said this before but I’d like to say it again- thank you so much for the tremendous amount of support you’ve given my channel. I’m truly humbled and blessed to be in this position. today we hit 300,000 subscribers- a milestone I never even considered possible at the start of my channel. thank you so much. the amount of people that have reached out to tell me their stories mean the world to me. I still remember hitting 20 viewers for the first time. I still remember hitting 100 subscribers, then 1000 subscribers. this has grown to something so much bigger than me and that is truly inspiring.

as the pandemic is coming to an end for me, I’ll be starting the next chapter of my life (now as an adult). while this is exciting, it’s also terrifying. I’ve had a lot of trouble sleeping recently due to this, thinking about what I want to do with myself, this channel, and this community. things won’t be the same for the foreseeable future (unless another pandemic strikes). for better or for worse, I’ll eventually have to start moving towards in-person classes and transition back to regular life. this summer I’ve enrolled in a few classes which mandate in-person attendance. **this means that I won’t be able to stream for as long as I typically do.** the updated stream schedule may be found at tinyurl.com/jvscholz *subject to change. I highly suspect this will remain the case for my remaining time in school.

as I previously mentioned, I’ve been having a lot of trouble sleeping recently. It’s 1 am as I’m writing this. also, given the fact that I haven’t taken an actual break from the stream/studying since January, I think it’s a good idea for me to rest before my summer classes start. I’d also like to take this opportunity to think critically about the future of this community as well as reflect upon my past actions. I will try to stream tomorrow, however, if this doesn’t happen I’ll be back on May 31 (with shorter hair). the weekend patreon streams will still continue, however, starting an hour later than usual. to those of you with finals still impending, I with you the best of luck. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there for you. please make me proud though! I also apologize for such a short notice. this should have been decided upon much earlier.

while you’re reading this, I’d also like to take the opportunity to thank our wonderful moderators Britt, Courtney, and omo as well as our discord moderators. without them, I would have given up a long time ago. they are truly the unsung heroes of the community and their contributions should be recognized. they are responsible for maintaining our community atmosphere, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

cheers,
James :^)
